Eight free Saturday workshops on digital literacy with American Corner, Ulaanbaatar, led by Peace Corps volunteers and the Empowering Girls in Tech interns, October–December 2023.

To live in a digital world you need to be able to check, judge, understand and work with digital media. Eight topics, every Saturday at American Corner, and a certificate for those who took part in at least five.
